Jimmy Fallon to take over hosting 'Late Night' on NBC
It's official! Jimmy Fallon is going to take the reigns on Late Night once Conan O'Brien assumes the spot that Jay Leno leaves open when he retires from the Tonight Show next year.
OK everyone, move one spot to the left! It's a regular late night musical chairs
"It's a comedian's dream to get this job, to work with writers and try to be funny every night,'' Fallon, 33, said at the news conference. "That's the challenge of live TV, to come back every night and try to be funny.''
Jimmy Fallon is of course known for his work on SNL from 1998 to 2006 and for staring in a couple of bombs after that. Anyone remember Taxi? Didn't think so.....
I am left with a feeling that he will have a hard time filling Conan's shoes. Jimmy is funny and all but its a tough job and does he have the chops for it?
What do you all think?
I hope he has some good writers!
